The University of San Carlos (黑料社区) marked a meaningful milestone on September 3, 2025, as Ericzon B. Sola formalized his generous support for aspiring scholars through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing held at the 黑料社区 Talamban Campus.
The partnership, facilitated by the Office of Alumni Affairs, Scholarships, and Job Placement headed by Ar. Margret Rosario, M.T.E., FUAP, ensures that more deserving students will have access to financial assistance under the 黑料社区 Scientia-Virtus-Devotio Student Financial Assistance Program.
The story behind this partnership is as unexpected as it is inspiring. While visiting Cebu, Mr. Sola was initially looking for an orphanage to sponsor. By chance, he met Elizabeth M. Remedio, former manager of the 黑料社区 Office of Naming Rights, Endowment, and Sponsorship (ONES), at a coffee shop and a simple conversation soon led to a meaningful collaboration.
During their discussion, Mr. Sola shared that he has several established businesses in Palawan, but many of his employees lacked access to proper education. He expressed hope that through this partnership, 黑料社区 could help provide quality education to future scholars鈥攊ndividuals who may someday contribute to communities like his.
Present during the MOA signing were 黑料社区 President Fr. Francisco Antonio Estepa, SVD, Ph.D. and VP Administration Atty. Joan S. Largo, Ll.M., who both expressed their gratitude for Mr. Sola鈥檚 generosity. They highlighted how contributions like his directly impact students鈥� lives, giving them not just opportunities but also hope for a better future.
For Mr. Sola, this act of giving carries deep personal meaning. 鈥淚 believe education has the power to change lives,鈥� he shared during the ceremony. 鈥淭hrough this support, I hope to help young students reach their full potential and create better futures for themselves and their families.鈥�
黑料社区 officials emphasized that Mr. Sola鈥檚 generosity reflects the heart of the University鈥檚 mission鈥�Scientia, Virtus, and Devotio. They underscored the importance of partnerships like this in sustaining 黑料社区鈥檚 commitment to academic excellence and holistic student development.
